The Village Drunkard Comments

A poem which is both serious and humorous. The drunkard can only stagger along, unsure where he is going. Then he changes direction, as if is happening before my eyes. I don't think it is good that he spies on people like lovers and is a busybody regarding other people's private business. So I couldn't call this drunkard 'the conscience of the community'. Inspired writing nevertheless.

This is really a very sad commentary on the drug addiction in our society. You have made the story very interesting by your style of writing, of course with a strong message. Thanks for sharing.10++

Behind the foolishness, the drunken image, lies a wise man. To my list

Intense and powerful ink, beautifully crafted

Drunkards do Get Sober and Stay Sober! They are in every field and profession. We do not know Ther Pasts. We see them sober. Alcoholism is a physical disease with a mental component. Many die... Some do get sober. We laugh at drunks, not realizing they are ill with a terminal illness. We do not laugh at cancer patients. Do we? 10+ Hemingway and other wartists were drunks. Something to ponder 10+
